This is a quick but effective 10-question quiz. For questions 1-6, students are given examples that fall into each of these categories and identify what category that piece of evidence falls into. For instance, students would have to know that “examples of this are the human tailbone and appendix” would fit into the “vestigial structures” category. There are then 4 multiple-choice questions that mimic the way standardized tests ask about this subject.

NGSS Standards: MS-LS4-2 MS-LS4-3, HS-LS4-1

2 Versions Provided – Two very similar versions of the quiz are provided. Wandering eyes will see a quiz that looks like their own, but has different correct answers.

Related Standards:

• NGSS MS-LS4-2: Apply scientific ideas to construct an explanation for the anatomical similarities and differences among modern organisms and between modern and fossil organisms to infer evolutionary relationships.
• NGSS MS-LS4-3: Analyze displays of pictorial data to compare patterns of similarities in the embryological development across multiple species to identify relationships not evident in the fully formed anatomy.
